ABSTRACT
Among the topics that are considered to be frontier areas of research, nanodielectrics certainly claim the top spot. A loose definition of a nanodielectric is that it “represents a class of materials with a polymer matrix, and a filler that is (often substantially) 100 nm in one dimension” [1]. Nanotechnology has grown exponentially, and there are currently more than 600 products and over 1500 patents issued [2]. The number of publications cited in the Scopus database has reached 21,000 (in 2010), when it was barely 200 in 1996 [3].
